UK votes for #BrExit from the EU. 52% Leave - 48% Stay.

Good for tourism and foreigners who wish to buy British goods.
Could be the start of an economic upturn......

So more EU citizens arrive and decide to stay.

on a lighter note 2 shadow cabinit jobs have been filled by people who will support jc not stab him in the back.i said there we plenty of others to fill the backstabbers jobs

So far he hasn't rolled over and given in to those who thought they were so important that if they resigned he couldn't carry on. He has also promised he will stand again if they force a leadership election. Has he called their bluff? I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next. They may have played into his hands, you never know.

You seem to be convinced that is true. It has certainly been inferred, but proved? I think not. That's what grates with me, innuendo being accepted and presented as truth.

It's not just me saying it, it's every paper, every analysis of the demographical data, every news commentator, every Labour politician.  If you refuse to accept it then that's your choice but it strikes me as very odd behaviour on your part.  Which bit do you consider to be innuendo or untrue?

I think they are going to skin us alive, Alice.  I would were I them and had elections looming.

Yeah but we got our borders back. I wasn't aware we had lost them mind.
Punch line of joke.

with people like you around we might,stop shitting your selfs and give it a chance

I never started shitting myselfs but thanks for the advice. 

[stephen25000]

Well Boris has now changed his tune.

He now wants the UK to stay in the single market.

Immigration is not the most important issue.


As just reported on the BBC News.


Also, apparently, Tom Watson, Deputy leader of the Labour Party has suggested apparently for Corbyn to fall his sword, after 28 resignations from the Shadow Cabinet.

If he was really clever he'd out himself as a Leaver and promise to do all he can to ensure a smooth and successful remvoval from the EU.  Then he might stand a chance of winning the next election.   It would mean performing a major U-turn of course.

stay in the single market......you are getting confused...Brexit is about EU membership...not access to the european market

People like to suggest simple explanations to complex questions. In reality a complex question require complex answers;

Political scientists will argue over the significance of education status in the referendum. You don't need a degree, however, to see how Corby's recent history played its part in the result, too

A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said the leader was "categorically not" told to quit by Mr Watson.

OK, have it your way.  There is no correlation whatsoever between class, age, education and wealth and how people voted on Friday.  Happy now?  That said, do you agree that a significant percentage of those who voted "leave" will be from the less well-off sector of society?  If so, can we get back to the original question I asked which you have twice avoided answering:

yes, and what are you going to tell those who voted for Brexit that the prices of food, clothes and electricals are going to become even less affordable than before, as you have suggested they would and should?!

[John]

As I said, John, it is a constitutional mess.

The previous referendum in Scotland was very divisive and the effects of that are still being felt.

We have just had a demonstration in this referendum of the annulment of many of the arguments which carried the day for the BETTER TOGETHER campaign.  It was a close run thing. 

Whether or not the first minister is able to block Brexit ... it is worth bearing in mind that the majority of the contingent of elected representatives from Scotland in Westminster are Nats. 
To date their behaviour has been on the whole impeccable but it is a different ball game now.  I would warn ... "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"
Parliament could turn out to be a very interesting theatre for them to perform in (and for the rest of us to watch) when their leash is loosened.

I don't agree that many of the arguments put forward in support of #brexit are defunct, it is very much early days. 

Sturgeon is an upstart, an opportunist who does not speak for the majority of people in Scotland. The fact is that the SNP represent around a million voters out of an electorate of over four million, not exactly an overwhelming mandate to even consider independence, but then she knows that.  Sturgeon might be ambitious but she isn't stupid, she knows that like Salmond, a failed indy vote would mean the end of her career as Scots leader.
